Ther.  FRI. JUNE 17, 1910 [Friday, June 17, 1910]  Wea.
                                          Stormy
Raining steadily most of day,
at times rather heavily.
  Pat & I worked in flower garden
up to about 10.30 A.M. when the
rain drove us to shelter. I spent
most of afternoon in shed tinkering
at various things & overseeing Harry's
work on some screens for the attic
windows. The birds nesting about our
house sang all day long, flooding
the air with delightful music of 
which I never tire. I like best
the songs of the Robin, Wood Pewee
& Oriole of those I am hearing now.
Larry & I had a good walk at 
evening through Berry Pasture, down
road to Bensen's, back by way of
Birch Field. A Red Squirrel in one
elm this morning apparently eating
gypsy caterpillars.
Concord.
Ther.   SAT. JUNE 18, 1910 [Saturday, June 18, 1910]  Wea.
Fine
Sunny, hot & humid with thunder
showers in every direction in late P.M.
one giving us a few drops from its
outskirts but none coming just our way.
  Spent most of day in the flower
garden & orchard working with Pat.
Trimming the tops of apple trees & 
rearranging flowers etc. Birds singing 
freely & feeding young in the most.
Scarce a tree or bush behind the house
that lacks a nest of some kind.
Started for a walk at 5 P.M. Went up
the road to Mason's Lane & [?] in to where
his big chestnuts [?] & far back into
the wild country beyond. It is now nearly
all sprout land of 1 to 3 years growth & fairly
alive with sprout land birds - Chewinks,
Hermit Thrushes, Maryland Yellow throats etc.
Heard at least 4 & I think 5 Hermits [hermit thrushes].
The shower drove me hurrying back at 
6.30.
